<p>**** … really?</p>

22

<p>**** 10 char</p>

23

<p>They’re sent earlier than 1:59 because they want you to get the email to be “received” at around that time. Doing so at the second would be even harder, although I guess they could say that they sent out the messages at around 1:59:02 PM.</p>

<p>automatic admission to MIT for the person who can discover the significance of ****!</p>

<p>… 9085 9086 9087 **** 9089 …</p>

<p>e= 1.62… or 2.72… I don’t know which one. How can that be a date?</p>

28

<p>I’m guessing 16/2 or 27/2</p>

<hr>

<p>Weird.</p>

29

<p>In my country (California), that is an authentic calendar date</p>

30

<p>^ California’s not a country… </p>

<p>Anyways that is pretty weird that they sensor nine-zero-eight-eight… I googled the number but the only thing that came up was something about genes and remote controlled helicopters! </p>

<p>This is an extraordinary finding. We just discovered a pattern in pi, thanks to the conspiracy behind CC forums, we have found that **** repeats itself quite often. =D pi could therefore prove itself a rational number.</p>

32

<p>^ Yeah I noticed that too. **** is repeated quite a lot in the pi value on here. I just used the search key on my computer and I saw that there are actually a lot of other four digit numbers that are repeated in it… like 7777, 8865, 2489. Even my birth date is repeated a few times :D</p>

33

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s definitely two. But they try to ignore each other :P</p>

lol that made me chuckle. This might sound weird, but what are Californians like? (I’m a Hindu Idahoan who grew up in Michigan till the 3rd grade,then moved here and lived here all my life. It’s very homogeneous here since I’m the only Non-Oriental Asian kid in my grade (and there aren’t very many oriental Asian kids in my grade either, maybe two). It 's also very conservative here…)</p>

35

<p>I can’t really describe the entirety of California :smiley: And since I don’t know Michigan well, I don’t know what to compare and contrast…</p>

36

<p>Hahahah California’s not a country. Texas is! :P</p>

37

<p>I can’t speak for the rest of Michigan, but I know quite a few people who seem to think Ann Arbor is its own state. ;)</p>

38

<p>Guys, apparently administrators don’t even know!</p>

<p>Also, this was coincidentally posted at 9:08!</p>

<p>It’s like that Jim Carrey movie, guys!</p>

39

<p>^ Bah, Texas lost its right to call itself its own country :P</p>

40

<p>:O Hahah Whyyy?</p>

<p>And after the whole Ashburn case, CA can keep its status? :P</p>
